Some of the old Daggers stuff wasn't bad, a track called 'After Midnight' was good but would likely sound quite dated now in a mid-00s cokey-Killersy way. Can't find any trace online, annoyingly.
Discussing them with a friend just now who said "There's a good article to be written on how Daggers, a little-interest pop band, reinvented itself and garnered critical praise and major label bids by pitching themselves in the most obtuse, un-public-friendly way possible." That couldn't be said about say, Delphic or any of the other indie-band reinventions of the past few years. The whole cod-Godard look is quite refreshing and different, I just find it a bit too grim and miserable to really get behind.
Can't help loving quotes like this, mind:
“I’ve always dressed smart but it kind of heightened a bit, there was a period about a year ago where we were at the end of our tether. We were on the dole, Adam was homeless, moved in my house, it got really bad. It kind of heightens itself when you’ve got nothing. To dress smart makes you feel important, you can look the world in the face and people take note of you.”
An admirable Dickon Edwards/Kevin Rowland attitude in that last line.

They're not as good as anyone wants them to be, are they?
